Oatmeal? When I saw a dip in my supply, I immediately panicked and ate a bunch of oatmeal cookies :) my breasts felt full again the next morning. I had oversupply issues so I think I started taking my milk fr granted but will be more careful from now on. I hope you can find something that will work for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-plus#post-546295 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 18:24:48 +0000 matador84 546295@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping. I have been taking reglan for 2 weeks and I swear its giving me stomach problems. Bought some brewers yeast today. How much to take?? So glad Ive been able to cling onto EBF 5 months now...want to make it one more month at least! Got sick this last week and didn't pump at all one day. Pumped like 3 oz another day at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-plus#post-480285 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 09:53:47 +0000 pelikila 480285@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@abmamma: about 3 days as compared to about 2 weeks for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-plus#post-480047 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 02:18:45 +0000 abmamma 480047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long did it take for you all to see results of MMP or other supplements? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-plus#post-470225 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 19:53:10 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 470225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: I got it as actual powdery yeast because it is more potent that way.<br /> Anyways-the yeast is not for baking bread! It is for making beer;) But I put it into my soups and sprinkle it on salads, on baked potatoes, on my morning bagel with cream cheese...<br /> It doesn't have a strong taste, but I couldn't eat it alone because it's yucky (and dry). It tastes kind of like peanuts? When I put it into my salad it mimics the taste of sunflower or even sesame seeds.<br /> I got mine from the health food store in my city. I have this exact canister:<br /> <a href="http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=SL-1047&#038;sourceType=sc&#038;source=fg&#038;adGroup=40-60&#038;keyword=SL-1047&#038;cm_mmc=Google+Shopping-_-Product+Listing+Ads-_-40-60-_-SL-1047&#038;gclid=CP70i6z0wLQCFY9DMgodOgUAmQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=SL-1047&#038;sourceType=sc&#038;source=fg&#038;adGroup=40-60&#038;keyword=SL-1047&#038;cm_mmc=Google+Shopping-_-Product+Listing+Ads-_-40-60-_-SL-1047&#038;gclid=CP70i6z0wLQCFY9DMgodOgUAmQ</a></p> <p>by the way: I just wanted to say that I know the stress and worry you must be feeling. Low supply stinks! But I commend you for doing what it takes to make sure your LO gets the BM (even if all you can provide is one feeding a day!) When I told my OB that my goal was to BF for 1 year but that I never though my supply would make it that far she told me that obviously being EBF is ideal, but if I can just provide 1/4 of his feedings in BM form then I am doing my LO a favor that will help him for the rest of his life in development/ immunity/ health..so that encouraged me to just give it all I got this year and try to provide as much milk as I can. And if I have to supplement, so be it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-plus#post-470186 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 19:17:54 +0000 matador84 470186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@turtledoves where do you get brewers yeast? Is it a pill? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-plus#post-470176 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 19:02:20 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 470176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: My OB recommended brewer's yeast and...wow. It worked for me. I can usually feed my LO just enough to fill him up, and I have to supplement during growth spurts. But, I have been eating brewer's yeast for 3 days now and I pumped an extra 5oz the first night and an extra 3 oz each day since. Usually I can't pump a single drop extra because I barely make it through the day to feed LO. I also take fenugreek 3x a day, 3 capsules each time with a huge bottle of water (like a 24oz bottle of water which I refill throughout the day).<br /> I'm saving all my extra pumped milk for future growth spurts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-plus#post-470124 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 17:57:40 +0000 littlehunny 470124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: I was told to take the fenugreek without thyme. I'm not sure which is better tho! The blessed thistle I'm taking is a separate pill from the fenugreek. I've also been eating oatmeal &amp; drinking mother's milk tea.<br /> Before I started I was only producing an ounce or so, but now I'm getting about 4 ounces per pump session. Hopefully you find something that works for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-plus#post-470100 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 17:22:41 +0000 matador84 470100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlehoney I need to find some with thistle.

Any tips? I take a TON of it a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-plus#post-470069 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 16:11:40 +0000 betsyboop 470069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the more milk plus special blend (capsules) as well and found that it worked, but fenugreek worked better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-plus#post-470056 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 15:22:26 +0000 DillonLion 470056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used more milk plus special blend (capsules) which also has goat's rue added. It helped a bit. Now I take Domperidone which my doctor prescribed 4x a day. It has helped increase my supply a bit but I still have to supplement a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-plus#post-470051 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 15:08:55 +0000 chopsuey 470051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never tried it, but bumping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/more-milk-plus#post-469851 Sat, 29 Dec 2012 11:33:45 +0000 matador84 469851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've read on here to get the liquid alcohol free version. Do capsules work just as well? Desperately trying to still boost supply since I don't go back to work until jan 7! I just pumped and got nothing on either side but fed LO and e got some out. Amazing how that works! </p>
